Compound with molecular weight 98 grams/mole
The percentage difference would be that of Chlorine; being 71.43% Cl.
amu data taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table
Chlorine moles
2.01495 moles Cl
Carbon moles
2,03896 moles C
Hydrogen moles
4.047 moles H
Not absolutely the best estimate but close enough,
, with a calculated formula weight of
, grams per mole, not too far off from the given quantity
